Bulak (Mencilis) Cave [Travel ]

The weekend was very nice and we went out on a nice hike along with my best friends... It is Bulak (Mencilis) Cave where I will share your photographs soon.
I would like to brief you about this cave ...

The Bulak Cave, also known as Mencilis Cave, is located on the edge of Safranbolu and Bulak Village. Bulak Cave is one of the natural beauty of Karabük, Turkey is said to be one of the longest cave discovered. The length of the cave is about 6 km, but it is illuminated in a way suitable for 400 meters of sightseeing. It is easy and pleasant to visit the cave which has taken its present state 3 million years ago.

It is a wonderful natural phenomenon that is formed by karstic eruptions. It's like a mystical atmosphere surrounds you when you come in. Bulak Cave, one of the hidden beauties of Anatolia with its stalactites and stalagmites formed from karstic rocks in millions of years, is only eight kilometers away from the center of Safranbolu district.

In the mouth of the Bulak Cave, located in a rocky deep valley, is reached by climbing a stairway of approximately 150 steps on a wall of this villa. At the end of the corridor curving 20-30 meters from the entrance with the stairs, the ceiling of the cave suddenly ascends 20 meters.

400 meters of the cave is illuminated to suit the sightseeing. There is a humid air in the cave where the walking trails are built due to the water dripping from the walls. It is said that the cave, which is at a constant temperature of 15 degrees Celsius of the year, is good for diseases such as shortness of breath, asthma and bronchitis.
